Technical Lead – Process Engineering

Job Requirements ROLE SUMMARY Lead process modelling, simulation, optimization and debottlenecking studies for upstream, downstream, refining, petrochemical and LNG facilities. Serve as the technical authority for Pro-II models and ensure quality delivery across concept, FEED, EPC, brownfield and operational support assignments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development, validation, troubleshooting and optimization of steady-state process simulation models using Pro-II.
• Generate and review Heat & Material Balances, PFDs, process calculations, simulation reports and operating cases.
• Model separators, distillation columns, absorbers, strippers, heat exchangers, reactors, pumps, compressors and utility systems.
• Perform equipment sizing and rating, hydraulic calculations, energy optimization, capacity enhancement and debottlenecking studies.
• Support flare, relief, depressurization and PSV sizing studies, along with HAZOP, SIL, LOPA and MOC reviews.
• Review client inputs, vendor documents and engineering deliverables; coordinate with Mechanical, Piping, Instrumentation, Electrical, Safety and Operations teams.
• Plan work, control technical quality, manage schedules and provide technical guidance and mentoring to process engineers.
• Support proposals, effort estimates, technical presentations and client discussions.
